1. A method for controlling at least one application on an electronic device comprising:
- interfacing between a context object and the at least one application; and
retrieving context data from said context object; and
at least one of;
updating said context object with new context data derived from interactions with the at least one application; and
modulating behaviour of the at least one application based on said context data; and
populating at least one data field in the application with said context data.

Abstract
A method, system and apparatus of controlling at least one application on an electronic device. Interfacing occurs between a context object and the at least one application. Context data is retrieved from the context object. At least one of the following further occurs: the context object is updated with new context data derived from interactions with the at least one application; the behaviour of the at least one application is modulated based on the context data; and at least one data field in the application is populated with the context data.

19. An electronic device for controlling at least one application, comprising:
-
a communication interface for interfacing between a context object and the at least one application; a processing unit enabled for; retrieving context data from said context object; and at least one of; updating said context object with new context data derived from interactions with the at least one application modulating behaviour of the at least one application based on said context data; and populating at least one data field in the application with said context data.

20. A method for controlling at least one application on an electronic device comprising:
-
interfacing between an active context object and the at least one application via a harness application, said active context object associated with an active context retrieving context data from said active context object; and at least one of; updating said active context object with new context data derived from interactions with the at least one application, said interactions associated with said active context; enabling a first set of features in the at least one application; disabling a second set of features in the at least one application; and populating at least one data field in the application with said context data.
